El desarrollo de un inventario de emisiones que identifique y cuantifique las principales fuentes y sumideros de gases de invernadero de un país es básico para cualquier estudio sobre cambio climático. El proceso del inventario es importante por dos razones: 1. Provee la base para el desarrollo de una metodología comprensiva y detallada para estimar fuentes y sumideros de gases de invernadero. 2. Proporciona un mecanismo común y consistente que le permite a todos los países signatarios de la Convención Marco de las Naciones Unidas sobre Cambio Climático estimar sus emisiones y comparar las contribuciones relativas al cambio climático de las diferentes fuentes de emisiones y gases de invernadero. 1, record 1, Spanish, - inventario%20de%20emisiones%20de%20gases%20de%20efecto%20invernadero
